### 3.2. Elements of the Architecture

The SNMP architecture articulates a solution to the network management problem in terms of:

1. the scope of the management information communicated by the protocol,

2. the representation of the management information communicated by the protocol,

3. operations on management information supported by the protocol,

4. the form and meaning of exchanges among management entities,

5. the definition of administrative relationships among management entities, and

6. the form and meaning of references to management information.
